For what it's worth in Moscow, ID... The naval jelly is a gel of phosphoric acid which attacks the iron oxide and neatly converts it to iron phosphate without using an A?C adapter or batteries or Windoze. That iron oxide is rust. Now you just wash away the iron phosphate and you have a new, relatively rust free, surface upon which to flail. No magic here. Just that chemistry stuff we learn from rural free hideho. Navel jelly, good for dipping, I suspect. Not similar to toe jam. pensioner (late for fridays) |
